They Gave Up the Machine,

The Swiss, as body, move slowly.
Expedition has no charms for them.
They have no liking for haste and hurry.
This trait was amusingly illustrated the
other day. A banker at Lausanne bought
typewriter. 1t worked well, and he
told his friends that he was delighted with
it. Only few weeks later it was sent to
the market place to be sold at auction.
When asked why he gave up the machine,
the banker naively said that, with the
typewriter, the business letters of the
firm could be disposed of so quickly that
the clerks were left in idleness for great
part of the day. He therefore abandoned
the machine and returned to ordinary pen
and ink. In such country it is mar
Vicious that there should be railroads and
steamers. News and Courier.

The Emperor OF Austria.

The emperor stands in a plainly fur
nished study in undress uniform, without
star or grand Gordon, and he greets
everybody with an engaging smile and a
good natured gesture of the hand, which
seems to say: "There is no ceremony here.
Tell me your business and if / can help
you l will" The emperor of Austria has
a penetrating eye and quick, catching
manner. BY glance he makes people
feel at home and by a word draws from
them what they have to say. Then he
gives his own answer straightout and
fearlessly, but generally with an acqui-
cscing smile, and whatever he promises is
faithfully performed. There is nothing
petty or evasive in him. He is a monarch
who replies by 'yes" or "no," but always
with so much courtesy that the humblest
of his subjects receives from him at de-
parting the same bow that he vouchsafes
to ambassadors. A most lovable trait in
him is that whenever he sees anybody
nervous at his presence he makes the au-
dience last until by his kind endeavors
the nervousness has been completely dis
pelled.-Boston Transcript.

ORIGIN a. refth.naeane...

DIR. Daniel Wilson, president Of the
Royal Society of Canada, has lately con-
tributed a paper to the proceedings of that
society on the subject of lefthandedness.
He reviews the various causes to which
the general preference of the right hand
has been ascribed, and also those to which
the occasional cases of lefthandedness are
attributed, and finds them mostly unsatis-
factory. He shows clearly that the pref
erential use of the right hand is not to be
ascribed entirely to early training. On
the contrary, in many instances, where
parents have tied up the left hand of
child to overcome the persistent prefer
ence for its use, the attempt has proved
futile. He concluded that the general
practice is probably due to the superior
development of the left lobe of the brain,
which, as is well known, is connected
with the right side of the body. This
view, as he shows, was originally sug-
gested by the eminent anatomist, Profess
sor Gratiolet.
tribute, and probably arose gradually
from the use, by the earliest races
of men, of the right arm in fght-
ing, while the left arm was reserved to
cover the left side of the body, where
wounds, as their experience showed, were
most dangerous. Those who neglected
this precaution would be most likely to be
killed; and hence, in the lapse of time, the
natural survival would make the human
race in general fright handed" with &C.
casional reversions, of course, by ''ata-
vism," to be left handed, or, more prop
erly, the ambidextrous condition. The
more frequent and energetic use of the
right limbs would, of course, react upon
the brain, and bring about the excessive
development of the left lobe, such as now
generally obtains. The conclusions from
this course of reasoning are very import
ant. Through the effect of the irregular
and abnormal development which has de-
scended to US from our bellicose ancestors,
one lobe of our brains and one side of our
bodies are left in a neglected and weak
ened condition. The evidence which DR..
Wilson produces of the injury resulting
from this cause is very striking. In the
majority of cases the defect, though 1t
cannot be wholly overcome, may be in a
great part cured by early training, which
will strengthen at once both the body and
the mind. "Whenever," he writes, ''the
early and persistent cultivation of the full
use of both hands has been accomplished,
the result is greater efficiency, without
any corresponding awkwardness or de-
feet, o-Science.

India's Professional Prisoners.

Although the Thugs Of India have been
long since eXterminated, Hindoo writer
in The London Standard tells how they
have been replaced by professional poison
ers. These people make use of a poison
extracted from the seed of the ahatura,
mixed with opium, and travel. from place
TO place, now poisoning a travelling COM
panion for his money, laborer for his
oxen or a host for the valuables in his
house. They are distinguished from the
Thugs in that they kill women, children
and pilgrims, which the Thugs would not
do. The road PRISONERS are organized
secretly, and great efforts have been made
to exterminate them, but thus far with
out success.-New Orleans Times-D Demo-

Bootblacks Give Rain Checks.

A reporter dropped into a prominent
hotel to have his boots polished. The
weather was decidedly threatening at the
time, and as he left the chair he said:
1T is almost certain to rain, and shall
lose my elegant ten cent shine.n
"Oh, We'll fix that all right" said the
frescoer. "I'n give you rain check, and
II you lose your shine come back this
afternoon and l will give you another"

Henry's Breach of Etiquette.

At Queen Victoria's recent state ball
Prince Henry of Battenberg first appeared
wearing black gloves. These were seen
to leave marks on the white dress of the
Princess Victoria. Then the Prince of
Wales approached him and whispered in
German, ''English etiquette prescribes
white gloves" Prince Henry soon slipped
out of the room, and when he returned
his hands were clothed in white.-Pioneer

Temperature of the Skin.

Though the interior of the body retains
quite constant heat of % to, 100 de-
grees, the temperature of the skin varies
considerably in different parts. Professor
KunlSel, at Wurzburg, has just found that
in the face in adult men it ranges from So
to 80 degrees. The skin of the more
exposed parts of the body, the nose and
the ears shows lower temperature,
seldom exceeding IS degrees, and even
descending to 71.5. The highest surface
temperature appears in men in the full
vigor of life, and the remarkable fact is
observed that the skin of children is cooler
than that of administering from n to 81
degrees. Traveller.
